SEPTEMBER TRIBUTE DRAGON

Steven Edward Fish, 40, passed away late Wednesday morning, May 13, 2020, at University Hospitals, Cleveland. He was called to Heaven, breaking the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Steven was born Sept. 27, 1979, in Youngstown, a son of Clyde “Gene” Fish, Jr. and Mary Wyant Fish, and lived his life in this area.
He was a 1997 graduate of Chaney High School and was a self-employed DJ.
Steve was an amazing guy with an outgoing, vibrant personality. His passion in life was other people. He loved making other people laugh and bringing people up with his energy. Steve’s work as a DJ allowed him to play to those strengths. Whether there were two people in the room, or 2,000, he knew how to make every single person feel like he was playing just for them. Steve managed to make every event he worked, every night out, a most memorable one for those who were there when he played.
At the age of 21, Steve was diagnosed with renal failure. One year later, he successfully received a kidney transplant. He never went a day without being thankful for his treatment and the transplant. Unfortunately, the very medicine that helped him to maintain the transplant also weakened his immune system, preventing his ability to fight off other diseases.
On April 8, he was admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 and he fought every day for five weeks. The virus affected not only his lungs but nearly every organ in his body and as hard as Steve fought, he could not stay any longer.
Steve leaves to cherish his memory his parents, Gene and Mary Fish of Youngstown; his brother, Adam (Jennifer) Fish of Boardman; his sister, Amber (Mark) Schrock of Austintown; two nieces, Kristyn and Katelyn; three nephews, Justin, Remington, and Harlan; his paternal grandmother, Joanne Fish of Liberty Township and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
